A synchronous per-request operation has one published charge for a successful request.
Batch acceptance reserves the maximum cost. Final settlement charges successful items and releases the rest.
BEFORE YOU START
How Credits, subscriptions and API usage fit together.
You can use top-up Credits without a monthly subscription. Free endpoints do not consume Credits, but still require an API key and follow the published access and rate limits.
Subscription Credits have a billing-period expiry. Top-up Credits are tracked separately and do not expire with the subscription cycle. Console shows your available balance and expiry details.
A 202 response accepts the job and reserves its maximum authorized cost. It is not a final charge. When execution settles, successful units are charged and the unused reservation is released.
A timeout does not establish whether the work completed. Check the request record and final receipt in Console before starting another operation.
Manage cancellation from Billing in Console. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Subscription and top-up purchases are generally non-refundable, except where required by law or for approved exceptions.
Create a project key, verify access with a free endpoint, then use the APIs your work needs.
